I've Not Played A Lot Of Sonic Games In My Life Bc I Suck At Platformers But... Never Cared Much About

I've not played a lot of Sonic games in my life bc I suck at platformers but... never cared much about Eggman bc he always just gave off the Cartoony Villain with little depth vibe, y'know.

In comes Jimbotnik in the movies, slaps that bald ass head and goes, this bad boy can fit so much repressed trauma, neglect, and loneliness in him. His reasoning for wanting to take over the world is to finally fucking matter, to someone, anyone, to be seen and recognized and have the upper hand and control over everything, because if he's the guy at the wheel he can't get burnt again. He'll be untouchable. And being human won't get him there, so he fiercely rejects any and all connection and emotion that's not anger or disdain because all it's ever gotten him is pain. Like, that shit runs so deep that his walls are building walls.

And then there's one singular guy with endless empathy and a coffee machine, patiently chipping away at it all with a chisel, and he keeps going despite everything Robotnik puts him through in the process...

Guys, I'm so unwell.
